Update on death wobble. I got the bracket off the one I ordered is M.I.A. so I found another.



I started on the bushings went for the axle pivot first there's not much room so I had to make some I got the Pota power out and spread the springs.



I never had much use for a pickel fork it helped to walk the bushing out. Ford folds over the little side of the bushing why I dunno its not going anywhere. That presented a challenge the chisel inside the pickle fork folded it in life is good.



Why you don't throw away a old bearing race. There's no room for a ball joint press. I have a small one to do upper control arm bushings but it was a challenge also it was going to take to much time to make an adapter for it so its make something fast from scratch.



Back side, I brought a tool a few weeks ago just for times like this. It has quite a few sizes of bushing drivers in it, it came in handy the black disc is from the kit.



The kit google BTSHUB 52 Pieces Custom Bushing Driver Set Transmission Wheel Axle Bearing Race and Seal Installer Remover Tool Kit. My review was a 3 there are a few things about how they attach the driver to it that don't make sense. Yes I would buy it again.



I have had this truck to work on for a bit I could not get to it as I knew it was gonna tie me up for awhile. The pix does not do it it justice it pops a eye catcher looks like new money. It was built years ago on a budget lots of farmerzation to the running gear.



I thought he just wanted to get it going make it dependable and add AC. I got the fuel leaks repaired, the alternator charging and was going to take it for a shake down. I went down the road a 1/2 mile you could not hold it in the road I put it on a lift the steering gear has been changed the gear mounting holes burnt out with a torch one bolt hole broken out. I called we need to have a pow wow he said money no problem (I already knew money was no problem) I want a street rod I can drive anywhere. He said do it like it was yours and money no problem. I declined I don't want to be tied up for the next year on it. I also don't have the time to research the combination and all the doodads that it would need. I have enoufh problems as it is don't need one planted in my shop for the long run. Stuff like this is a labor of love and I don't need it.
